By the time Timothy Bradley and Jessie Vargas step into the ring later this evening, HBO will have just televised its 1,000th fight over its 40-plus years in the boxing game.
The lucky pick for the historic moment for HBO will pit unbeaten featherweight Oscar Valdez in a 10-round bout with Ruben Tamayo, serving as the televised opener at StubHub Center in Carson, California (Saturday, 9:45 p.m. ET/6:45 p.m. local time).
It remains to be seen whether or not either fight on tonight’s telecast winds up on any list of all-time great moments HBO has enjoyed since throwing its proverbial hat into the boxing ring in 1973. What can be said with great certainty, is that the once self-proclaimed Network of Champions has produced a wealth of incredible moments during its run.
